This resource was compiled and created by Alice McGlashan. It is free to the public and includes a lot of valuable information about nest boxes and tree hollow dependent species PLUS designs and instructions on how to make, install and look after nest boxes and their amazing little tenants. Very important to provide homes for our wildlife as they are losing so much but ensure you are well-informed on the species you want to set up a nest box for so they and their babies are well protected. https://nestboxtales.com/
Are these cat safe?
Cats kill an estimated 2 billion animals in Australia each year
Information on predators is included in the above resource. Look under ‘Predators and competitors’. “Nest box predators include: Brushtail Possums, Sugar Gliders, Ravens, Currawongs, free ranging cats and foxes (yes, they can climb!)” Snakes and goannas also predate on eggs and chicks. Here’s some more info and there’s plenty more by doing a search: https://nestboxtales.com/nest-box-predators-and-competitors/feral-predators/
